when you figure out the difference in a symbolic sell out, i.e. its too late to ship tickets any more so we will say its sold out, and simply not making that ultimately pointless statement, and what that means, please do let me know.

also i dont believe ive insulted you. pointing out artists who arent kanye west who similarly played in years when the fest didnt sell out isnt an insult.

i have a super weird story about my bonnaroo experience this year and i don't know where to put it! so i'm putting it here.

we got back to our camp in ed rooney early friday morning, crawled into the van and flopped down on our mattress. i was mostly dead at that point so i was out immediately, but my gf shook me at one point and said, "did you hear that? it sounded like something hit the roof." i did not hear it, of course, and mumbled something along the lines of who cares.

she woke me again at like 6 in the morning, and was like "BABE, WAKE UP. THERE IS SHIT OUTSIDE THE VAN."me: "huh? shit? what are you talking about? like horseshit?"gf: "no. human shit! like 5 piles of human shit! i got up to go to the bathroom and there's like...there's shit everywhere!"

it still didn't really register with me because i was so sleepy, and i told her to just not worry about it until morning. when i woke up i was thinking it was a dream.

it...it was not. there were like 6 giant turds in the area around our van. i can only suspect that they were thrown/catapulted there, given 1) the fact that she heard something hit the roof and there was one directly behind the van like it hit the top and rolled off and 2) the other shits were randomly scattered in the path between our car and our neighbor's. it was by far the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me at roo. i didn't want to fuck with it but i couldn't just leave it there where we had to walk and camp, so i cut the bottom off a water jug and used it as a makeshift scoop. so revolting. i sacrificed a shade sheet and a tarp to cover the grass in that area because there was no way i could keep walking on that grass.

gf wondered if we were targeted specifically, but i don't understand why we would be; we tend to generally be non-terrible people and had no negative interactions with anyone. we're pretty obviously gay but it would be the weirdest thing i think if someone at roo reacted negatively to that. otoh, i don't know of anyone else who woke up to a bunch of shit.

any other victims? are you out there, shit criminals? show yourselves!

i can't really wrap my mind around it still. at this point i just have a lot of questions. like, what the fuck? how did this happen and why? where did it come from? was it all from one person? it was a LOT. did you shit in your hand and throw it like a monkey? shit in a shovel and like, fling it? where did the idea come from and what made you decide to send it our way?

i can't think about it without laughing like crazy despite how gross it was. gf did get a nice "that's when the shit hit the van" joke out of it that cracked our group up. you probably had to be there.

Our first HOA, the realtor "forgot" to mention until we were sitting at the closing table. They don't want you to know about them.

My closing paperwork says that i have no HOA. I didn't find out I had one until 2 months after I moved in when they were asking for 6 months of back dues.

Sry catching up. If you do not have a land use restrictive covenant (LURC) on your land, tell them to take a flying leap. They cannot force you to do anything. This would of been registered with the local deeds office.

I was in charge of leading my group into shows since I was the biggest one in our group and I can maneuver my way through crowds without being too much of an asshole. After we left our tent Thursday night after our mid day break, I was supposed to lead us to Break Science. We got into the tent, and the lights were amazing and the music sounded awesome. Everyone agreed this was one of our favorite sets of the weekend already...until after about twenty minutes, someone in my group noticed that they put signs up of who was playing, and that we were in fact catching the last 30ish minutes of Cherub's set. So we left and went to Break Science's set, which turned out to be just as fun as Cherub, but we all agreed that mistake was probably one of the best things that happened all weekend.

I got back from Roo Monday and went back to work Tuesday. Due to this, I have yet to have a long night of sleep since I have been back. It's like my body is refusing to work right until this happens because I am having so much trouble staying awake during the day even though I am sleeping the same as I usually do during the work week.

Same here. I'm completely wiped. And I'm training someone this week so I have to pretend to be mentally alert. I feel kinda bad for her... I'm pretty sure I was so tired on Tuesday I was slurring my speech.

burberry142 - that is horrible but yet hilarious all at the same time. But seriously, someone had to be pretty depraved to do that. I'm sorry it happened to you.

haha, thanks guys. i am still cracking up about it randomly, and i had to hold the phone out last night while my mom laughed after i told her.

if you're out there, shit monsters, i swear i'll buy you a beer just to get a recap of the wacky events that resulted in The Incident. and then maybe you can buy me a beer, cause, you know, you threw your fucking shit on us.

same here, and we moved the weekend prior to roo, so it's been a couple weeks since i've had a solid night's sleep. and i work one 13 hour shift a week, so i was here last night until 9. i'm considering napping on the floor of my office at lunch today.

won't sleep in this weekend either, as i'm driving home to wv for a family reunion. i'm counting on home cooked food and mawmaw hugs to get me through.

On Monday I tried to watch GoT and had to give up... because I fell asleep with my beer in my hand and spilled all over me.

It's not worth it for me to take Tuesday off because I'd rather save the vacation day for something more worthwhile. I get a decent amount of days off but I also travel a lot. Last night was the first night I slept, but I still feel wiped out. I napped on my lunch break, took a two hour nap when I got home and then slept 7 hours last night. Not. Enough. I haven't even begun to unpack and all I can think of is going to bed...

I'm still riding the high from Bonnaroo. I wonder when it will truly hit me that this relocation is happening. My luck I will be sitting at a KOA in South Dakota before I fully realize that I can't just hop down to Nashville for shows when someone I wanna see is in town. Wonder if there will be decent shows in anchorage throughout the year...

Anchorage is a bit more happening than Juneau. You'll get a few show. Pinkie swear. I found myself going to K-Mart in Juneau just to sing along to the radio.

Having a procedure done tomorrow so I have to fast today. Only thing I can't eat is jello and broth. And what do you know someone brings in all this good food into the office, sons of bitches. Also FYI don't ever buy garlic chicken broth, shit is disgusting.
